042. Uh, this isn’t it (3)
“… … All right.”
Ackerman hesitated before answering.
“but! I don’t understand why Aren was assigned a D-class mission.”
However, Ackerman immediately protested against Zeroth’s decision.
Being dissatisfied with the decision made to me, not the decision made to me.
Zeroth licks his lips.
‘Yes, then,’ was the look on his face.
“It is my authority. Wouldn’t it be something a cadet would talk about?”
Zeroth looked at Ackerman and said.
There was thin ice in his cool tone.
Ackerman took a step further.
“Cadet Aren showed really outstanding skills. Unjust! Instructor, you know?”
“Don’t be cocky. Ackerman Breed.”
Zeros tried to stamp Ackerman down with an authoritative attitude. But our protagonist, Ackerman, is not one to give up easily.
I can’t stand it if it’s unfair.
The two wolves, Zeroth and Ackerman, growled, baring their teeth.
‘Why is Ackerman like that?’
I wonder if there is any reason to defend a day that I have never greeted properly.
Anyway, things happened.
I calmly and quickly grasped the situation.
You need to organize your thoughts and make a decision before the conflict spreads.
First of all, the D rank that fell to me.
This was the best result for me.
I’m not greedy, so if I get a comfortable mission, I’m thankful.
The problem is Ackerman.
According to the story, Ackerman is assigned a D-rank mission to solve the “Evil Spirit of Herace Castle”. However, he was given a B rank for some reason, so this mission was skipped.
‘Write… … .’
No matter how you think about it, the variable was me.
Zeroth was looking good at me. That’s why Ackerman assigned me to win. But I lost, and that disappointment may have influenced this decision.
‘A narrow-minded bastard.’
Variables caused by me are like natural disasters. I have to admit now that no matter how much I struggle, I won’t be stopped.
However, it needs to be adjusted so that the big story doesn’t go wrong.
Consider the “Ghosts of Hereith” mission, which Ackerman would originally take on.
In fact, this is a side quest concept to introduce external mission content.
In other words, it has no effect on the main story.
It doesn’t matter if Ackerman doesn’t necessarily take on that task. As a result of sparring, Ackerman’s growth seemed to be sufficient, so there is nothing to worry about.
Rather, it is rather good to take on B-rank missions and accumulate more experience points.
Therefore, there seems to be no reason for me to step out during the foreign mission period.
Even if I were to receive the “Demon of Hereith Castle” mission, which Ackerman would be in charge of, it would be an advantage.
Ackerman just needs to grow up and clear the missions on his own, and I just need to skip everything as I know a lot.
I was taken aback at first, but it’s not a big deal if you think about it.
‘Maybe it’s going for the better.’
Zeroth must have tried to f*ck me, but he’s not. Thank you for assigning me a D rank!
Zeroth and Ackerman growl, and Gilliot stops Ackerman.

Kosuk… … .
Ackerman guy. that’s nice too Like the main character. It was quite impressive.
Anyway, it’s time for me to step in and sort things out.
I braced myself and bowed down to Zeros. deliberately exaggerated.
“… … !”
“… … ?”
Then he turned around and went back to his place.
This means that there is no dissatisfaction with Zeroth’s decision.
There is no need to fawn in front of Zeros, saying “I’m fine,” with a painful mouth, and there is no reason to stop Ackerman.
Actions speak louder than words.
“Cadet Ackerman. Follow the example of Cadet Aren and return to your seat calmly. Don’t say it twice.”
Zeroth saw my actions and issued an ultimatum. Ackerman had no reason to step out anymore.
Ackerman looks at me asking why I’m just going back.
I didn’t react.
I don’t want to make things bigger.
‘Stop you, come back too, Ackerman.’
Don’t bother the Zeros.
Ackerman seems to have respected my decision. In the end, I forcibly nodded my head and left the arena.
Zeros, who looked at the back of his head with an ax eye, announced the assignment results again.
“Cain Abella. D rank.”
“No really!”
As if the top had gone back, Ackerman attacked Zeros.
In the end, he was dragged down from the arena only after being stabbed by Cain.
Oh yeah… … .
Every time I see him, he’s noisy and unnecessarily affectionate. He’s the main character of a boy’s cartoon.
When a colleague suffers injustice, they get angry together and help.
I didn’t know if he would be angry even for me.
Cain, who was defeated by a narrow margin after a fierce confrontation with Ponte, swallowed his anger and accepted the result of Zeroth.
No, rather, Cain would be happy.
It would make me feel worse and hurt my pride if Zeroth gave me a B-class mission out of stupid sympathy.
Separately, the burden of weighing down Cain was further increased.
This is the point at which Cain begins to ponder whether it is right for him to stick with the sword in earnest.
… … Task assignment is over.
With the exception of Ackerman, all of them were assigned according to the story.
“Except for Cadet Ackerman, everyone seems to have no complaints. good night. Then I will post the result like this. The members of the foreign affairs mission will be announced in a week, so fix your clumsy mindset by then.”
Zeros continued to say unlucky things until the end and disappeared.
It’s almost like a night out.
Ackerman immediately rushes to Cain to protest, and Cain annoys him to stop.
It’s a scene you often see in games.
‘Let’s go quickly and get some rest.’
It was a moment to turn around.
Isn’t something like a bear’s paw wrapped around my shoulder?
“… … ?”
I wiped my surprised chest and looked back as calmly as possible.
“Aren.”
It was Gilead in the bear house.
“Yes, Instructor.”
“sorry.”
“Yes?”
Gilliot looked a little dispirited.
Apparently, he felt sorry for me for not being able to stop Zeroth’s tyranny.
“If it were you, you would have been able to receive a B-rank mission… … .”
Gilliot couldn’t finish his sentence.
“it’s okay. Rather good.”
“Rather good… … ?”
Gilliot raised his eyebrows. These are the eyebrows that express emotions very well.
“I don’t know what that means.”
“I don’t want to make it an issue.”
“… … .”
Gilliot puts on an unknown face.
Finally, let out a deep sigh.
“okay. I get it when you say that. Let me know if you need anything. help me as much as i can Especially that Zeros… … If it annoys you.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Gilliot expressed his resentment openly.
You wouldn’t like it if the rolling stones were installed like this.
What should I do, if the king is black?
Gilliot just needs to take good care of Ackerman.
I hurried back to the dormitory.
‘I should take a quick sigh of sleep.’
It’s physically too hard. The aftereffects are too severe due to the excessive use of mana.
I feel like I’m going to make a mistake if I go out to dinner with Sianna because I’m confused.
‘If only I could use leap magic at a time like this… … !’
* * *
Lily, a first-year priest-class cadet, has been having a lot of trouble lately.
It was all because of his roommate, Shiana.
Shiana, who is usually infinitely kind and bright, is an incredibly pretty and cute friend.
My eyes went naturally, and the desire to treat me kindly welled up.
However, there seemed to be a dark corner somewhere. He doesn’t talk too much, and he’s a friend you can’t quite understand.
Still, Siana always greeted Lily with a smile.
That was until recently.
‘Huh… … What could be the problem?’
These days, it seems like Siana is crying with a blanket over her every night, and she doesn’t smile very often.
I wonder if Lily didn’t hear me when she said hello, so I had to say hello two or three times before he accepted it.
A bad thought flashed through Lily’s head.
The biggest cause of sudden depression for women in this age group is, of course, dating.
‘Perhaps… … Viktor sunbae-nim made a modification!?’
It was Lily who introduced Cyana to Viktor.
But what if Viktor was playing with Siana’s heart?
I just introduced you to be friends, but if you hurt the heart of this naive girl who doesn’t know anything… … !
‘If it’s real, I’ll never forgive you.’
There can be no such thing. Even Viktor, no matter how friendly he is.
Lily clenched her fists and made up her mind to talk to Sianna today.
They are two people who have had no interaction other than saying hello.
Since Sianna comes in late every night to wash and sleep, we don’t have much time to spend alone.
Lily, who wanted to get closer to Shiana, takes this opportunity to counsel her and seeks an opportunity to get closer.
‘I’m having a late night snack!’
I don’t know what Cyana likes, but even she will melt in front of delicious food.
The heavy steps became light again.
Lily hurried to the dorm.
.
.
.
.
.
Lily opened the dorm door.
‘Yes? What is this nice scent?’
Unlike usual, the smell of perfume is strong.
“Hee hee hee~”
A hum is heard from inside. It was like a gentle harp playing.
“It’s Siana… … ?”
There is no answer. Lily carefully removed her shoes and went inside.
As I passed the wall that was blocking my view, I saw a silver-haired woman.
Siana is quietly combing her hair in her dorm room. Humming to the tune, perhaps in a good mood.
Her loose hair was finer than silk. Adding to the scent of Cyana that filled the room, it was enough to make people mistakenly believe that she was an elf or a goddess, not a human.
“Heungheung~”
“Siana?”
As Lily spoke, Ciana stared at Lily through the mirror. The corners of her lips curled up in a cute way.
I feel and look great.
“Lily! Did you finish early today?”
“… … ?”
what.
A child who seemed to die of illness just the other day now smiles as happily as a woman who had been proposed to.
Lily’s mind goes white.
What the hell happened?
no way.
‘Rain, did Viktor accept your confession… … ?’
Since I didn’t know anything, I had no choice but to make a guess.
“yes? Lily? Are you sick?”
On the contrary, Shiana asked.
“Oh no!”
It seems that there is a promise.
I think I’ll have to postpone the work of listening to Siana’s concerns while having a late-night snack.
“Siana, what are you planning today?”
Lily thought it was a rare opportunity. She looked the most cheerful of all the Cyanas I’ve ever seen.
So I pretended to be as friendly as possible and approached her.
Fortunately, Siana accepted it well.
“Yes? promise? Oh no! I’m just eating… … !”
“Isn’t that a promise?”
“Is that so? I decided to eat, so I promised… … right?”
The funny thing was that Shiana was quite shy about the word ‘promise’.
Lily thought to herself.
‘Hmm, also… … It stinks, it stinks. This is unconditionally male.’
Then, like a detective, he quickly scanned Siana from head to toe. Guessing turns into certainty.
Obviously, she was much prettier than her usual Siana.
No matter how you look at it, Viktor was a waste for a senior like that swallow.
Let’s check.
“Who are you going to eat with?”
Lily sat on Sianna’s bed with a sly expression on her face.
“Yes… … ?”
Ciana, who was brushing her hair, hesitated.
What can I say? Should I be honest about meeting Aren?
However, Aren was usually very reluctant to talk about himself.
In the end, Shiana decided not to talk about Aren.
“That, just… … friend.”
Instead, I used the word ‘friend’.
“friend?”
“Yes, friend!”
When Siana put the word ‘friend’ into her mouth, she let out a strange snort.
Unaware of her situation, Lily just tilts her head.
“Oh, it’s seven o’clock. I have to go out soon.”
Siana got up from her seat.
Every time she moved, a fragrant smell tickled her nostrils.
Lily looked at Sianna, who suddenly felt better.
‘Still, it’s much nicer to see it bright like that.’
I don’t know why, but I was less worried.
Still, I wanted to be friends with Siana. It was the right time to properly speak like this.
“Hey, Siana.”
“yes? why?”
Cyana turned her head. Lily almost stopped breathing for a moment.
‘Wow sir… … What a doll.’
Lily came back to her senses and opened her mouth.
“Hmmmm. that… … Shall we have a late-night snack later?”
“Midnight Snack… … ?”
Siana wondered what was going on. What is going on with my roommate who has never spoken to me properly before?
But, never today.
Because I’m going to eat all the new menu of ‘Warriors Pizza’ with Aren.
“sorry. Lily. Can we eat it tomorrow?”
Shiana tried to say it as little as possible to offend.
‘I didn’t notice. Big.’
I laugh and say that, but who will stop me?
Lily nodded quickly.
“Okay, then let’s have a late night snack tomorrow!”
“yes. thank you! Shall I go out now?”
“Yes, Siana. Bye!”
Sianna smiled and greeted Lily.
Lily watches as Ciana leaves with a motherly smile.
“What kind of man is he?”
Lily thought it would be fine as long as it wasn’t for Victor.
I’m worried, let’s check it out. Lily took out a contact orb and sent a message to Viktor.
* * *
The body is as heavy as cotton soaked in water.
Consuming a lot of mana, using the shadow for a long time, and even swinging the purifier ignorantly… … .
It was a natural result.
Still, I got up and dragged myself to the shower.
I wash off the sweat I shed while fighting Ackerman, and wipe every part of my body with body wash.
‘Hmm.’
Strangely, I felt like I was brushing harder than usual, so I hurriedly finished the shower.
As I was drying my hair and changing my clothes, Victor came in.
“uh? Aren. Where are you going?”
“Yes.”
After answering indifferently, Viktor suddenly approached me.
“But what? What is this strange atmosphere? Doesn’t it feel like you’re training or researching magic like usual?”
Viktor rested his finger on his chin and stared at me.
“Body wash scent stronger than usual. A different time out than usual. Hair that seems to care more than usual. No, the head was originally morbidly obsessed with it. well, whatever.”
Viktor finished his observation and said with a grin.
“Look at this guy. Are you meeting a girl?”
